A coastal tapestry, diverse and free.

Traditions to unfold, and stories still to explore.

Unified by the rhythm of the tide,
As ancient roots and new worlds collide.
In this living kaleidoscope, we stand,
Amidst unity and mystery, hand in hand.

Journey westward, where water meets land’s embrace,
The coastal plants, a unique living grace.
Their stories, like whispers on the breeze,
Rooted in the past, yet dancing with ease.

Through nature’s embrace, we find our home.
A harmonious dance of culture and earth,
Honouring Wales’s coast rhythm of birth.
